Itchy angry cleavage rash

and it's driving me nuts. In fact it is more raised spots than a rash now and very very itchy. I have ample boobage and wear quite substantial bras and the rash is where the band is under my boobs and goes up into my cleavage. I'm sure it started as a heat rash, however its in it's second week with no improvement, actually worsening despite not wearing my bra while at home (unheard of, I love my bras). . So just wondering if there are any lotions or creams that would help or is it past the point of pharmacy intervention and should I go to the doctors?

I have this and the only thing that works is thrush cream, in my case its like a fungal infection because its so warm and damp round your boobs, and then after that plenty of talc to keep it dry. Hope that helps

My GP prescribed Timodine, cleared up the rash within days.
